The marriage of biology with nanomaterials has significantly accelerated advancement of biological techniques, profoundly facilitating practical applications in biomedical fields. With unique optical properties (e.g., tunable broad excitation, narrow emission spectra, robust photostability, and high quantum yield), fluorescent quantum dots (QDs) have been reasonably functionalized with controllable interfaces and extensively used as a new class of optical probe in biological researches. In this review, we summarize the recent progress in synthesis and properties of QDs. Moreover, we provide an overview of the outstanding potential of QDs for biomedical research and innovative methods of drug delivery. Specifically, the applications of QDs as novel fluorescent nanomaterials for biomedical sensing and imaging have been detailedly highlighted and discussed. In addition, recent concerns on potential toxicity of QDs are also introduced, ranging from cell researches to animal models. 相似文献

Forest transition is a process of overall forest cover from net loss to net gain over time. Forest transition especially the process after turning point from deforestation to reforestation has inspired lots of researches for its potential to improve environmental services. China has undergone forest transition since the 1980s. However, in tropical China, deforestation was still existed, while the overall forest cover increased greatly. To investigate this issue, we conducted this research by classifying overall forest into natural forest and plantation in Xishuangbanna, which has undergone forest transition and deforestation and overall forest cover increasing. We found that natural forest continues decreasing while overall forest cover increasing and plantation expansion in forest transition. The forest transition in Xishuangbanna was found to be a tree cover transition, which was mainly contributed by large plantation expansion. In Xishuangbanna, deforestation is still undergoing after its overall forest cover transition occurred in 1988. The general overall forest definition used by forest transition will not be able to recognize deforestation when natural forests are displaced by plantations because the overall forest cover remains unchanged or even increasing. We therefore recommended to classify forest types in forest transition researches. 相似文献

森林转型是指森林覆盖率由净减少到净增加的过程。中国森林早在20世纪80年代就进入了转型期,然而,中国热带地区的总森林覆盖率虽呈增长趋势,但依旧存在着天然林大量被毁的现象。鉴于天然林对森林生态系统功能的重要作用,本研究通过加入森林类型分类的内容,以西双版纳为例探讨其森林转型的真实特征。结果表明:森林转型理论单纯以"总森林"覆盖率为研究对象,忽视了其他森林类型的动态变化,甚至掩盖了"天然林"的真实动态变化。西双版纳的森林转型主要是人工种植林的扩张所致,只是树木数量统计上的转型。事实上,自1988年以来,西双版纳的天然林一直在锐减。所以建议未来关于森林转型的研究应将"森林"区分成不同的森林类型加以研究。 相似文献

The investigation was intended to study the role ofbaroreceptors ofhemodynamically isolated zone of vertebral arteries in regulation of peripheral veins tonus, arterial pressure and external respiration. Pressure decrease in this vascular reflexogenic zone led to reflex responses of increase in femoral vein tonus, elevation of blood pressure level and stimulation of external respiration. The opposite reflex responses of cardio-respiratory functional system to initial pressure activation of vertebral arteries baroreceptors are observed. Basing on generalization of our own findings and similar physiological and morphological researches of other authors, it is established that afferentation from the vertebral artery zone is a reflexogenic factor of somatic muscles' veins tonus regulation. These reflexes of capacity vessels tonic activity changes are part of cardio-respiratory responses of maintaining the tissue gaseous exchange. 相似文献

The diversity of T and B cells in terms of their receptor sequences is huge in the vertebrate’s immune system and provides broad protection against the vast diversity of pathogens. Immune repertoire is defined as the sum of T cell receptors and B cell receptors (also named immunoglobulin) that makes the organism’s adaptive immune system. Before the emergence of high-throughput sequencing, the studies on immune repertoire were limited by the underdeveloped methodologies, since it was impossible to capture the whole picture by the low-throughput tools. The massive paralleled sequencing technology suits perfectly the researches on immune repertoire. In this article, we review the history of immune repertoire studies, in terms of technologies and research applications. Particularly, we discuss several aspects of challenges in this field and highlight the efforts to develop potential solutions, in the era of high-throughput sequencing of the immune repertoire. 相似文献

Colon cancer is the second leading cause of cancer-related death in industrialized countries. Many anti-cancer researches
are consequently performed and individualized tumor response testing (ITRT) methods are now used to individualize patient
chemotherapeutic administrations. Then, a new ITRT method, Oncogramme, was developed for colon cancer. Colon tumor fragments
from different patients were dissociated and seeded in a defined culture medium. Cell preparation process as well as culture
medium allowed high cell viability and a good primary culture success rate. After treatment of isolated tumoral cells by chemotherapeutics
alone or in combination, cytotoxicity was determined by cell death assay allowing the Oncogramme establishment, which was
validated by statistical analysis. Indeed, significant results were obtained such as different profile for each patient’s
cells with various drugs, and variability between patient’s cells in the response to each drug. Procedure described here to
obtain the Oncogramme is a new, fast and technically reliable ITRT method applied to colon cancer. For an individualized cancer
treatment use, this test should be further validated by a phase I clinical trial. 相似文献

Animal cells have been widely and continuously studied due to their usefulness in biological researches and production of pharmacological agents as well as food additives. Nevertheless, there are several problems such as the existence of viruses which introduce the possibility of mammalian-infection. In this reason, recently, animal cells derived from marine organisms have emerged to overcome these problems by many researches. However, marine animal-derived cells have not yet been well developed. The banded hound shark occupies an important position in an evolutionary perspective and currently a few biological substances have been used for medicines or food additives such as shark squalene and cartilage extract. In this study, primary cells were cultivated from a banded hound shark nose containing many extracellular matrix (ECM) materials. After successful isolation of one type of primary nasal cell, we optimized culture conditions including coating materials, media composition, serum concentrations and pH. Additionally, these cells demonstrated proliferation ability in vitro, generating secretions of collagen and sulfated polysaccharides. The cultivated primary cells are useful in the study of cellular biology and may be used to create a variety of ECM-originated bioactive substances. 相似文献

In the framework of the researches granted by MURST COFIN97, studies on anisakid nematodes, aethiological agents of human anisakidosis, were carried out. The project was aimed to implement the knowledge on the systematics, genetics, ecology and epizootiology of species of the genera Anisakis and Pseudoterranova by applying genetic markers obtained from multilocus allozyme electrophoresis and from PCR-based techniques. The results obtained by allozyme studies allowed to extend the geographic distribution and to detect new definitive and intermediate/paratenic hosts of two sibling species of the A. simplex complex, i.e. A. simplex s.s. and A. pegreffii and to characterise the species A. simplex C, a new sibling species within the A. simplex complex as well as a new species belonging to the genus Anisakis, A. ziphidarum. Combined allozyme and morphological analyses provided markers for the identification of the four sibling species of the Pseudoterranova decipiens complex and their nomenclatural designations. New markers based on PCR-RFLP analysis were used for the identification of sibling species of the Anisakis simplex complex and of another four species of the genus. Genetic markers based on three diagnostic restriction enzymes allowed the identification as A. pegreffii of a larva obtained by endoscopy in a case of human anisakidosis in Southern Italy. 相似文献
